4/27 Roundup and News

The KBO actually rescheduled two of this weekend's rainouts for Monday. Someone should have looked at a weather report before this decision was made. One of the rescheduled games...was rained out again.

Doosan v. Hanwha
PPD

Seoul Heroes 7, SK 4
W - Lee Dong-hak(1-0), L - Kim Won-hyeong(0-2), S - Hwang Doo-seong (5)

They also should have alerted the local populace that a baseball game was scheduled for Monday night because it looked like about 30 people showed up. The KBO website claims 2,559 were in attendence, but my eyes say otherwise. Both starting pitchers were chased from the game in the early innings. It was up to the bullpens to keep a lid on things. The Heroes bullpen threw 7 innings of scoreless relief after starter Jeon Joon-ho surrendered 4 runs during his 2 innings of work. The Wyverns bullpen wasn't quite as lucky. Goh Hyo-joon was knocked out in the 4th inning. Heroes DH Cliff Brumbaugh took reliever Kim Won-hyeong out of the ballpark in the 5th inning to give the Heroes a 7-4 lead. Brumbaugh supplied majority of the Heroes offense last night. In addition to his 3-run blast in the 5th inning, Cliff also hit a 2-run bomb in the 1st inning. Both homers went out to left and both just barely cleared the fence, but they count just the same. Wyverns #2 hitter and left fielder Park Jae-sang had a solid game. He finished 3-4 with a walk, 2 runs scored and 2 stolen bases. Heroes closer Hwang Doo-seong threw a fairly uneventful 9th inning to nail down the save. 10 of Hwang's 15 pitches went for strikes, but he did allow a basehit.

well.. no Koreans are used to the Monday game. It's a day after the Sunday, people are tired, the players were tired (some even hoped for another rain delay), bad weather on that day, one team playing was the Heroes, the other one is now mostly hated team SK, blah blah blah blah blah...

anyway, good game though. (and just the WORST INTERPRETER when interviewing Brumbaugh that day.)
